i heard one conservative commentator last week say how president obama wants a shutdown. they're trying to reverse this thing around a big way. the majority of americans don't want it. why are they selling this stuff? >> well, i think they can't get out of responsibility for the shutdown, because it is -- incredibly unusual. and that's mild for a party after a piece of legislation is passed to use a shutdown of the government or the debt ceiling and the possibility of fiscal chaos, economic chaos, as a way of repealing a bill that's already passed. the other thing is, the republicans kind of got branded as the shutdown party back in the 1990s. and -- >> didn't do them any good then either. >> no, it didn't do them any good then. and because the public associates the word shutdown with what newt gingrich's congress did back then, i just don't see how they can get out from under it. and you've got all these leading republicans, like karl rove, among others, saying we don't want to do this, because we will take the blame. so, yeah, they're trying to figure a way around it. b
